This white paper has been prepared by
World Bank s Transport and Information and Communication
Technologies (ICT) Global Practice at the request of the
MIOA . Delivery of the White Paper is part of a wider
package of technical assistance by the World Bank to the
Government of FYR Macedonia. The paper starts off by giving
an overview of the state of telecom development in rural FYR
Macedonia from the standpoint of affordability and
availability of the commercial broadband Internet access
services for the less advantaged groups of the population.
The next section describes the Wi-Fi Kiosk Project outlining
its scope, aim, and implementation process while bringing
forward publics experiences with respect to the Wi-Fi kiosk
use. This section also examines technical parameters related
to the Internet usage and demonstrates the problematic of
the kiosk maintenance in the remote and rural areas. Section
five references specific policy and regulatory measures
designed by different government stakeholders with a goal to
analyse the approach which has been chosen to ensure
availability of the fixed and (or) mobile broadband Internet
in the rural areas of the country. The white paper concludes
with a set of observations and recommendations aiming to
address the sustainability of the results achieved by the
Wi-Fi Kiosk Project and to offer next steps to increase
rural connectivity in FYR Macedonia. |
